Highly Recommended!!

As a complete beginner, this book makes DIY auto maintenance approachable. The clear illustrations and step-by-step tips give me the confidence to handle basic maintenance myself and save money on costly shop visits. Highly recommended for any new car owner!

Thoughtfully Layed Out & Written

Currently work in the automotive parts industry and have begun working on our families vehicles from oil changes to battery swap outs to spark plug and brake changes. This is a very well laid out book, very detailed and easy for anyone to read and understand. The images help greatly when explaining jobs and parts. Would heavily recommend this book to anyone going into the auto parts or automobile industry, and those looking to start working with their hands and do their own auto jobs.
